Sorry for the late response. For the "state of the art", you might want
to look at http://www.altheim.com/ef/2005/10/topic-modeling.html

It has more to do with topics and keywords rather than (textual)
"summaries" but it appears to me now that that's more what you are
interested in anyway(?)

We've had a play with some of this (the LDA algorithm) using an
implementation in MatLab, and we've got plans to use it in a real
project here over the next few months.

Cheers
